Deadcats

"The Deadcats' second CD, and a powerhouse to boot!! Thirteen rippin' punkabilly anthems featuring the new line-up of this internationally known band. Features covers of the Cramps, Sonics, Vince Taylor and others as well as the band's own hit 'Ballad of Johnny Rebel'. Engineered and mastered by Marc L'esperance (Ray Condo, Coal)."
 
"A lil' bit of hillbilly, a lil' bit of surf, and a lil' bit of punk. ..throw them all together and you get a colossal mixture of The Deadcats from Canada. The punk influence from the Ramones and surf sounds of Dick Dale are present on 'Millions of Deadcats', contributing to an exceptional combination from this group.
     WOW! The surf guitar on this release is spectacular! Way to go Chopper who plays a mean wild surfboard guitar. 'Cerveza' is an excellent surf instrumental that shows off the talents of these boys. 'Stagger Lee' is an exceptional hillbilly song, present with the gutbucket slapping bass from Scooter. We can't forget the chainsaw guitar by Mick Tupelo and the spanking of the mean drums from Buzz.
     The Deadcats cover songs from Sonics, Vince Taylor and even The Cramps, also a great selection of original rockers of their own. When they come to your town you don't want to miss the wildly erratic sounds from these cats....dead or not." Mary Gunning - April 2000
 
"A fast train ride through the blazin' depths of hell, the conductor is crazed and taking the curves a little too fast. This is 'Night of the Helltrain', the first of thirteen extreme songs on this Deadcats release. Next, the train speeds past this surf-ish cover of the Cramps 'Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs' and then slows down a bit for you to catch your breath. You are lulled into a false sense of security, a cruise to the tune of 'Cerveza', a surf instrumental. The train picks up momentum once more and whizzes by 'Ballad of Johnny Rebel' and a honky tonk cover of Social D's 'King Of Fools'. Your knuckles are white, sweat gushes from every pore, are you hallucinating or are you really hearing 'Get Outta My Crease', an obvious parody of the Rolling Stones? 'Stop! Let me off this train ride through Hell' you yell at the conductor, but the only reply you hear is a mad cackle as you feel the train car yank forward as you increase in speed. Delirious and praying for your life, the sights and sounds blur together as 'I'm A Mess' blares over the speakers. All of a sudden your prayers are answered, or so you thought, as you look around you now you realize you are riding in the passenger seat of a 'Brand New Cadillac', but who is this driving? A naked girl wearing only a cowboy hat, boots and a holster! 'What’s going on, where am I?' you ask her, but her answer is 'Shut up asshole' as she leans over you, opens your door and pushes you out. You lay along side the road, bloody and near unconscious as 'Rip it up Tonight' echoes through your mind. A light, a bright white light calls you to the realm of the after life as you drift towards heaven on a fluffy cloud. You see angels doing the twist to 'Half Pipe Swing' and then you realize these aren't angels and you aren't in heaven." Lisa Marie - Rock'n'roll Purgatory
